Open Education Resources (OERs) are becoming more common throughout educational institutions, however, there is still a need for conversation and to promote the free resources that are available. OERs can be used as an outreach tool for patrons to gain access to works and materials that may only be available through a paid educational institution, school or for profit entities.

Presentation given with Clare Brett as part of Master of Teachers Tech Day at OISE, Oct 20 2010.
Abstract: Open Access (OA) and Open Educational Resources (OER's) are terms being increasingly used in educational circles. There are a lot of free, well-designed and interesting curriculum resources out there for the discerning teacher to find and use in their classroom. This workshop will provide a tour of some of the key locations for finding such resources for k-12 teachers, as well as introducing you to the ideas behind Open Access in general, and a discussion of interesting new directions for lifelong professional development, such as the Peer-to-Peer university. The workshop will consist of introducing you to the terms and resources of Open Access as well as small group discussions on strategies and issues about using these resources in your classroom. This will be an interactive session, where your questions are welcome and will guide the kinds of materials we discuss.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

8. Open
Education (OE)
Open Education is a movement to make education
accessible to all (Cape Town Open Education Declaration)
Broad view of education, beyond institutions
Collective term that is used to refer to many practices &
activities that have both openness & education at their
core.
9. Open Educational
Resources (OERs)
Teaching, learning, and research
resources that reside in the public
domain or have been released under
an intellectual property license that
permits their free use or repurposing
by others (Wiley, 2010).
10.
11. Open Educational Practices (OEP)
“Open educational practices (OEP) is a broad descriptor of practices
that include the creation, use, and reuse of open educational
resources (OER) as well as open pedagogies and open sharing of
teaching practices” (Cronin, 2017).
14. Why OE matters?
Need for accessible and FREE resources
Don’t have to re-invent the wheel - better use of time
Need for localised materials, transforming the curriculum
Encourages us to reconsider our teaching and learning approaches
Colleagues & students can become co-creators
17. IP policy at UCT
● UCT is one of the five universities in the country where academics are allowed to retain copyright over their teaching materials
and thus turn them into OER.
● As the UCT IP Policy states:
● UCT automatically assigns to the author(s) the copyright...in...course materials, with the provision that UCT retains a perpetual,
royalty-free, nonexclusive licence to use, copy and adapt such materials within UCT for the purposes of teaching and or research.
(UCT, 2011, p.15)
● The policy goes on to state that “UCT supports the publication of materials under Creative Commons licences to promote the
sharing of knowledge and the creation of Open Education Resources. UCT undertakes certain research projects that seek to publish
the research output in terms of a Creative Commons licence” (UCT, 2011, p.15).
● This opportunity is further reinforced by UCT’s Open Access Policy which promotes “the sharing of knowledge and the creation
of open education resources” (UCT, 2014, p.3).
● Plus: OpenUCT Institutional Repository, OER grants for scholars who want to turn their teaching materials into OER, the regular
OER workshops and training sessions held by the Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching (CILT) and the legal advice
scholars can obtain when licensing their materials as OER.

24. Creative Commons licensing
Creative Commons is an internationally recognised and legally enforced licensing framework for
intellectual property that works alongside copyright law. By applying CC licenses to any copyrighted
work, a rightsholder can preemptively waive any or all of the exclusive rights codified in the copyright law of
that country.
Any “work of authorship” is automatically placed under copyright protection once it is made tangible.
Licensing makes it possible to share intellectual property in the manner that the rightsholder sees fit.

31. • If resource falls under copyright protection, either:
o Recreate the resources using office or online tools
o Replace the resource with a similar resource by
finding an open source alternative or by creating your
own resource
o Obtain permission from the author, publisher, editor,
organization who holds the copyright
o Reconsider if the resource is really necessary

40. What we have learnt:
●Sharing OER requires more than simply a facility for sharing
●Requires change in academic practices
●Academics generally want to get involved (sharing knowledge is
●for many second nature)
●Need to understand affordances and Creative Commons
●Shift question from:
○‘why should I share my educational content?’
to
○‘how can I stay in control of the process of my educational
content being shared?’ (Butcher, 2010)

41. What to consider when you create your
teaching materials or share them on the
internet?
●When you use images or other people’s materials make sure they
are creative commons licensed.
●And consider how the content you share online is licensed for
use by others.

Criteria Do they meet the
criteria?
(YES, NO, Partially)
Issues for adapting
Appropriate
content
How closely does the content match:
● your course objectives / activity learning outcomes
● the needs of your students * less close match = more adaptation
Local context What changes (if any) will be needed in order to reflect local concepts, terminology and
ways of doing things? Are there any topics that need to be included?
Up-to-date How up-to-date are the materials you want to adapt?
How long will it be before your materials needs updating?
Accurate and
authoritative
Too many inaccuracies means more adaptation.
Does the OER match subject matter expertise at the right level in your discipline?
Prior knowledge
or skills
If the prior knowledge assumed is more than your learners will have, then you may need
to produce a pre-course supplement to bring your learners up to the starting point of the
course.
Appropriate
Language Level
For example, is the vocabulary appropriate and are the sentences not too long or
complex? If you will need to translate the text, will this present any special problems?
Learning Activities If the activities are few or of poor quality, you will have to create new ones.
